Writer Rodney Barnes and artist Jason Shawn Alexander’s creator-owned Image horror comic series Killadelphia started off as a tale of father and son cops investigating murders on the streets of Philadelphia that were being carried out by a vampire army led by American founding father, John Adams. From there, the conflict between humans and vampires got bigger and weirder as more figures from American history like Adams’ wife Abigail, Thomas Jefferson, and even George Washington became embroiled in the supernatural war on Philly’s streets, but so did werewolves, witches, gods, demons, and characters from Barnes’ other creator-owned Image books like Nita Hawes’ Nightmare blog.That all happened over the course of the series’ initial five arcs, and when Killadelphia returns this November for Issue #31, the series’ apocalyptic war will get even bigger. Characters from other Image books and a classic ’70s horror film will join the fight. Spawn, the Savage Dragon, and Blacula are coming to Killadelphia. CBR spoke with Barnes about his plans for his guest stars, the evolution of Killadelphia, where it’s headed, and how it’s become the flagship book of a horror universe.Rodney Barnes: It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. The book started as a pretty grounded book on the streets of Philadelphia. If you read Issue #1, you never would have thought that we’d be dealing with the Devil, gods, and all the stuff we eventually go to. So, once it became a fantasy book as well as a horror one, Spawn just felt like a natural fit since he’s so many different things.
